    You have the arrow on 1 and 11/16 which is 1 and 1/16 inch bigger then 5/8 inch. I would drill the hole 5/8

    I've done several of those. I used a 5/8" bit and the pin fit perfectly. I wouldn't use anything bigger.

    Need a clearer picture than that. Did you look at the post before you posted it? You can't read any numbers except the 2.
